Gloom is fading to the wall

Gloom is fading 
     and a shadow of pain unseen,
     Delicate, begins to shed light,

     Awakens into day's radiance,
     From a blanket of sheltering of a wall.
     Breathe of wind 

     so that it builds,
     Into an ancient slave,
     One from the past,

     Cover with a subtle
     Touch of a footprint
      Left behind in the ground
